Most of us looked for ways to save weight wherever we can. The rifle itself shoots well and cleaner with a can than a DI gun.

That stock looks really hooky. Changing out my minimalistic stock because I got it caught on my chest rig strap during a training session, and that stock reminds me of it.

As a proud Virtus owner, it does kind of suck that I no longer have the latest and greatest, that being said, as a Sig fan, I want to see Sig continue to improve, and this definitely improved on my biggest complaint about the Virtus, which is it's thick handguards, and heavy weight. That being said, at least the weight reduces recoil a bit which is nice. And adding the DD forward grip to the Virtus made it way more ergonomic and pleasant to shoot.

Thank you for addressing the FN issues and not following up with anything related to the SCAR!!

So I wasn’t sure what to expect but something I haven’t seen people talk on much is just how light the recoil really is. A normal ar has almost no recoil but this seriously feels like a .22lr when you shoot it. The even lighter recoil allows a more shots on target more accurately and faster. I was blow away by this rifle and I’m not really a sig fan, I just bought it because it was built differently then most ar’s on the market and I love a fresh take on an old design. So far no failures suppressed or unsuppressed and it’s honestly 1000 times better then I thought it would be. I figured it would be one I bought shot for a bit and sold but I don’t see myself selling it anytime soon.

I’m sure it will only cost $3,500 when it’s actually in stock.

I've only bought one sig, a p250 pistol when they first came out and it was an unrelable. It generally had a ftf or fte at least once or twice out of every 30 rounds. The sig laser/ light that I bought with it broke the first time I fired the gun.

You misunderstood, then. He said he's not getting paid by them. That doesn't mean he's not on the train (not sure how you can watch any of his Sig videos and determine otherwise). You should hear stories about what companies do to woo government (and military) personnel who are determining who wins the contracts. There are all.kinds.of.things that they can do that don't involve the exchange of money to "enrich" said people. And those are people who are bound by regulations on what they can and cannot accept. Mike (GT) has no such restrictions as a private individual.

This must be for the British SAS. The Austrlian SASR only recently after ditching the Steyr picked up the EF88 and is forecast to remain until around 2030. Mentioned this to my boss who is former SASR, he said that he'd still take an AK over the Steyr, EF88, and the Spear.

MCXs have been fielded by SOCOM (Delta, SEALs, Intel) since at least 2018.

Picked up the LT 7.62x.39 and I love it, I’m thinking about ordering a 5.56 bolt head so I can swap in and out. I love that it can just handle x.51 or blackout or even 6.5 creed more and the .277 fury, it’s just awesome

Is it just me or is it better when he does reviews out in the field? anyway, I love it. Keep it up, it looks like I’m gonna have to sell one of my guns and get one of those MCX spear LT, they’re just sexy.

A friend and I were talking about the Army's decision to go to the new cartridge. We think it would be interesting to see the same technology that went into the 277 Fury in 5.56 and push the limits on pressure and push a heavier bullet.

Can't really do anything else with 5.56 as it is today. It's a volume capped cartridge, meaning standard loads almost fill the whole case with powder as it is. A bigger and heavier bullet isn't going to be able to be pushed any faster without changing the parent case.

You got a hold of one really quick.

A large portion of the expanding gas from a fired cartridge in a gas operated rifle exits the barrel at the ejection port regardless if it is a piston or DI operated gas system. High pressure seeks to escape anywhere there is lower pressure. The backpressure of the system is effected by barrel length, gas port dwell time, gas port length, and what the backpressure characteristics are of the suppressor being used. The resulting backpressure from whatever combination is created effects how quickly the bolt will unlock after a cartridge is fired, this is why cyclic rate increases when a suppressor is used. If the system is modified or a different combination is used such as longer barrels + longer gas systems, it will result in longer lock times. Longer lock time results in more gas being vented through the muzzle of the weapon instead of the ejection port. The gas escaping the ejection port is visibly seen in all the footage of Mike shooting this rifle. The reliability of a weapon system has more to do with the relationship of component tolerances to the resulting backpressure combination. You need good parts that are in correct spec, namely the BCG and other gas sealing components, and a backpressure combination that isn't too little and isn't too much. The M4 is a result of fixing a problem with brute force methods i.e. - shortening the gas system and keeping the barrel fairly long. The result is very long dwell time weapon system. In other words, if you cram an ass load of gas down the gas tube its most likely going to run no matter what. Its also going to beat its gas rings, bolt lugs, cam pins, and carrier keys to death and be horrifically overgassed if you put a suppressor on it. There are better ways to fix that problem. Learn how to inspect parts wear - gas tube, gas key, gas rings, gas block. If any combination of those locations is leaking gas, the system will stop running either due to weak ammunition, dirt/carbon, or something extreme like being frozen. If all of those critical interface locations are adequately sealed your potential failure rate plummets even if you introduce the same weak ammunition, dirt/carbon, or temperature factors. Why do you think KAC seals their gas system from the factory? Similar to a car, you can make more horsepower by adding more fuel, or by making more efficient use of the fuel you have. Leaks are inefficient, I would be wiling to bet that many of the malfunctioning guns that resulted in the creation of the M4 could have been fixed by proper inspection and knowing where to look for leaks in the gas system and lubing the damn thing every once in a while rather than turning up the gas pressure.

Can you do a review of the PSA JAKL? It seems like it's a budget MCX that's got a fair amount of care put into it. Love your videos man! Thanks for what ya do!
